Plus this is very misleading and not really any kind of "news" at all. By posting this here and it being a sticky it implies, I think, that some kind of decision has been made. All of this is up in the air and the AANA doesn't control what the accreditation folks do or the cooperation of the universities. There is no DNP curriculum defined or agreement upon a timeline or anything really. This is a negotiating point put forward by the AANA and there is a long way to go before we know what will happen and in what form it will take. This is barely news.
